If golf is your world, Approach S70 is your watch. Featuring a stunning 1.4” AMOLED display, this premium smartwatch brings more than 43,000 courses to life and features all the tools you need to lower your handicap. The improved virtual caddie feature provides a recommended club based on your shot dispersion data, elevation and more. An enhanced PlaysLike Distance feature utilizes a built-in barometer, so you’ll know how far each shot is playing. And on your way to the hole, preloaded green contour data gives you insights into slope direction of the green (with an active Garmin Golf app membership). The slim, stylish design looks great on and off the course, with features that support your training — and lifestyle — including strength, yoga and running activities. Also get heart rate and advanced sleep monitoring for an extra edge when you’re on the course (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked). With up to 16 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and 20 hours in GPS mode, you’ll always have time for another round.
